Do you just have to peel them off? Heat them up and peel them off? Or... ?

Heat them up and floss them off. I just did mine recently.

Floss, probably don't need to heat them up just lift enough to get a finger underneath and then pry it out slowly. don't pry too hard though if you plan on keeping them because they will crack.
